ctrlsva: Non-negative control surrogate variables

In USCbiostats/ENmixUSC: Data preprocessing and quality control for Illumina HumanMethylation450 and MethylationEPIC BeadChip (USC version)

Description

Surrogate variables derived from intensity data for non-negative internal control probes. These variables can be modeled in association analysis to adjust for experimental batch effects.

Usage

ctrlsva(rgSet,percvar=0.9,npc=1,flag=1)

Arguments

rgSet	An object of class RGChannelSet.
percvar	Minimum percentage of data variations can be explained by surrogate variables, range from 0 to 1,default is 0.9
npc	Number of surrogate variables, default is 1
flag	1: select number of surrogate variables based on argument percvar; 2: select number of surrogate variables based on argument npc

Value

ctrlsva: a matrix of surrogate variables (columns) with row corresponding to samples
